Abstract |
|
The solar drying system utilizes solar energy to heat up air and to dry Bagasse by reducing its moisture content and using it as an alternative for coal in boiler to reduce the pollutants and conserve our non-renewable resources as well as drying any food substance loaded, which is beneficial in reducing wastage of agricultural product and helps in preservation of agricultural product. Based on the limitations of the natural sun drying e.g. exposure to direct sunlight, liability to pests and rodents lack of proper monitoring, and the escalated cost of the mechanical dryer, a solar is therefore developed to cater for this limitation. This project presents the design, construction and performance of a mixed-mode solar dryer for Bagasse. In the dryer, the heated air from a separate solar collector is passed through a Bagasse bed, and at the same time, the drying cabinet absorbs solar energy directly through the transparent walls and roof. |
